I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving tbh.
I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services no cap.
Real talk: just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.
